Taking drugs |
|
We have
just said that smoking is sin; but it is sin also to take drugs, such as
cocaine and heroin, and to take hallucinogens, such as LSD. The reason is the
same I told you before, for our body is the temple of God and this temple is
holy and we must possess it in sanctification and honor (1 Thessalonians 4:4)
abstaining from all those things which are able to destroy or damage it, and
drugs and hallucinogens damage the body. |
|
Therefore,
brothers, you who were formerly drug addicts, do not return to your old ways,
that is, to drug addiction, for any reason; and you who have never known drug
addiction, do not become drug addicts. A word about hallucinogens: not only
do they destroy the body (particularly the mind), but they also put people in
touch with demons, for those who take hallucinogens make astral trips during
which they meet monsters and see strange things which belong to the occult
world. So abstain from them. |
